Micrometeoroids and debrisThe materials with vulnerability to micrometeoroids and space debris are discussed. It is concluded that all materials are vulnerable to hypervelocity impacts and that the importance of these impacts depends on the function of material. It is also concluded that low earth orbits are the most significant region relative to orbital debris. The consequences of aerospace environment effects are discussed.
